Abstract
A tape (4) intended to be attached to a molded article (2) comprises a sole (13) having grippers (5) on one side thereof and anchors (14) on the other side thereof. The side of the sole (13) having the grippers (5) thereon also has two spaced-apart marginal areas devoid of grippers (5) and adapted to be glued temporarily into an internal face of a mold (1) in which the molded article (2) is to be formed. Anchors (14) are comprised of stems (15) having an enlarged head (16) which is molded into the molded article (2) to hold the tape (4) firmly against the molded article (2). The marginal areas devoid of grippers (5) permit tape (4) to lie flush with the surface of the mold (1) while the molded article (2) is being formed.
